Ingredients

8 servings

3 lbs apples (about 6–7 medium; a mix of fuji, honeycrisp, and granny smith works well), peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1
Add the apple chunks to the slow cooker. Pour the lemon juice and water over the apples, then sprinkle with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir briefly to coat.
2
Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, until the apples are completely tender and collapse easily when pressed with a spoon.
